Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4523518, member: 4"] The issue appears to be the visa requirements. Foreign students need a specific type of visa to work in the U.S. and certain types of NIL deals are considered working. I don’t know about apparel, specifically. It‘s also possible UConn helped the foreign students get the appropriate visa. Since someone at UConn retweeted the NIL deal, I assume it’s ok [I]But restrictions on student visas has meant that international college athletes have been mostly locked out. There are a handful of visa options for foreign college athletes seeking to participate in the new NIL landscape. They can apply for EB-1 extraordinary ability green cards, an O-1 visa, or a P-1 visa, which is reserved for athletes at an internationally recognized level of performance [URL unfurl="true"]https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/stars-visa-is-rare-win-for-foreign-athletes-banking-on-likeness[/URL][/I] [/QUOTE]
